There are a number of influential individuals involved in the debate on the use of traditional ammunition, consisting of lead components, for hunting and recreational shooting. Aside from the scientific researchers and authors discussed separately in the Researchers section of HFT, many individuals within the numerous NGO’s and federal and state legislatures or regulatory agencies play a major role in the campaign to ban lead ammunition nationwide.
The individuals affiliated with NGO’s that zealously advocate lead ammunition bans are part of a highly organized network of like minded individuals with an agenda to ban lead ammunition. These individuals are extremely passionate and active in disseminating misinformation that they proffer to support their campaign. Their campaign is heavily reliant on the use of science, which they claim supports the causal link between lead ammunition and lead poisoning in humans and wildlife.
The individuals affiliated with federal and state legislatures or regulatory agencies are also very important, as they are members of the bureaucracy that control and implement policies and regulations affecting the use of traditional ammunition. Whether or not these individuals are biased in their belief in the activist’s campaign to ban traditional ammunition nationwide, or merely objective bureaucrats, these individuals hold key decision making positions for policy and regulations concerning lead ammunition and are important players in the lead ammunition debate.
Hunt for Truth will expose key individuals associated with either NGO’s or federal and state legislatures or regulatory agencies in order to facilitate an open and transparent debate on the use of traditional ammunition in hunting and recreational shooting sports. Frequently check the Expose section for investigative reporting on these individuals with a biased agenda, and the real truth in the debate on lead ammunition.
